What To Do?

There’s plenty to do when you vacation near Glacier National Park!

While Glacier National Park may sound like the perfect winter vacation to enjoy snowmobiling, skiing, or hiking in the wintery woods, Montana has so much to offer in other seasons too. Don’t let the name fool you!

Spring offers relaxing hikes and the smell of fresh-budding flowers. Summer is perfect for a dip in the crystal-clear glacier waters, and if you’ve never visited Montana in the Fall, get your camera ready for nature’s rainbow of autumn leaves.

Glacier Haven Resort offers easy access to Whitefish, Kalispell, and Hungry Horse, MT if you’re looking for charming local shops. Plan to spend some time at Flathead river, Lake Macdonald and Hungry Horse Resevoir for the best scenery Montana has to offer!

REVIEWS FROM OUR RECENT GUESTS

5 star rating The property owner and caretaker was very nice, her name was Julie. We were checking in late and we gave her a ring to notify her. She was accommodating and waited for us until 10:30 pm. She checked us in and gave us park recommendations. She also gave us the option to upgrade our camping cabin to the hotel room, which we gladly did. The room had a microwave, cable/satellite TV and a mini fridge. Julie made sure that every morning she would remake our beds and replenish towels. We tried to minimize her efforts doing laundry and hung up our towels for reuse. But they were still replaced with fresh ones. She does offer a few food items in the store during the winter, and during the summer they offer hot food items and the kitchen is open. The motel is also located in the middle of the park and it makes it super easy to get from one point of the park to another. I definitely recommend it to any traveler!

5 star rating Wonderful stay at the Inn Our family of 4 stayed at Glacier Haven Inn during our vacation to Glacier National Park. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Our room was decorated in a grizzly bear theme! The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The room had satellite TV, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker with coffee for the morning. The bathroom was clean and well stocked with small bars of soap and bottles of shampoo. We had an outstanding dinner at the restaurant, definitely order the huckleberry pie!! Right out the front door is an incredible mountain view, and we stepped out at night and were treated with a view of the milky way! More

4 star rating Clean and Great Location Recently stayed at the property in September. The motel is in the middle of the west and east entrances to the park. The management was very receptive to any questions I had e-mailed, especially since there was a fire 5 miles away. The room was large and clean. Also, it had a fridge and microwave. The beds were soft. There are not any stores or gas stations nearby, so plan accordingly. The motel has a small diner in the front lobby, but it is closed after labor day. In reading the review, there is a set of train tracks behind the hotel, but after a long day of hiking, I did not hear the trains in the middle of the night.
